The creator of despair and darkness

Took bus number 176 home from JE today. Usual bus trip anyway, bt I kinda observed something interesting today.

I also noticed that most people's faces were kind of..in a sad mood. Clearly their eyebrows were frowning about something. People at my age tend to walk very fast( lyk I saw some student alone walking, very fast). People in groups tend to be happier than those I saw walking alone.
